Weaving Textiles: Textile Consumption for Travel and Warfare
No full textTextile research has demonstrated that new types of textiles were introduced to Scandinavia in the latter part of the Scandinavian Iron Age (AD 700–900). The archaeology of the period displays an increased number of textile tools, and large concentrations of pit houses dedicated to textile production. This era also saw the introduction of sails to Scandinavia, which is one of the obvious reasons for textiles and textile production becoming such an important part of Viking Age society. However, hitherto the value of the textiles has mostly been ignored, and its impact rarely discussed in research. This article will attempt to remedy this and poses important questions, such as: what was the economic value of the textiles needed for travel and warfare, and what was the value of the textiles used on a journey? In the article, the 10th century Ladby ship from Fyn in Denmark, is used to exemplify the demands and economic value of all textiles of one single ship, on one journey. I will use an interdisciplinary approach, including analyses of archaeological textiles; iconography; and early medieval texts. The aim of this novel method is to highlight the importance of textiles. It will alsoexplore how journeys under sail and warfare contributed to the increased consumption of textiles.Textile research has demonstrated that new types of textiles were introduced to Scandinaviain the latter part of the Scandinavian Iron Age (AD 700–900).

Women, War and Words: a Verbal Archaeology of Shield-maidens
No full textScholarly discussions of the question of the participation of women in war in the Viking Agehave based their arguments on a variety of evidence, including both archaeology and texts.However, even those scholars who make substantial use of the textual evidence have notpaid sufficiently close attention to (a) the vocabulary used in the representations (whetherhistorical or fictional) of women acting in the supposed male role of warrior and (b) theliterary-historicalcontexts in which the texts were produced, including potential relationshipsbetween texts.To further these discussions, this paper proposes a method which might be called the‘stratigraphy of texts’ to demonstrate how a careful sifting of the cumulative textual evidencecan enrich discussion about this important question. With close attention to thevocabulary used by the texts, and by considering the date, genre and sources of, and –importantly – the relationships between, texts in Old Norse, the discussion will demonstratewhat can and what cannot be deduced from these textual representations of female warriorsin the Viking Age.The paper will focus on tracing the development of the Old Norse concept of the skjaldmær,‘shield-maiden’, through a variety of texts in which this term occurs, and also suggesta probable origin for the concept. There will also be a brief consideration of the term ‘valkyrie’(ON valkyrja).Scholarly discussions of the question of the participation of women in war in the Viking Age have based their arguments on a variety of evidence, including both archaeology and texts.

Eldre jernalders tjæreproduksjon ut av tåken. Om tidlig norsk tjæreproduksjon med utgangspunkt i et funn på Averøy i Møre og Romsdal
No full textFor many years it has been well known that tar was an available commodity in the Norwegian Iron Age, but until recently no production site or installation for such production was known. In this paper two recently discovered tar production sites, in south-eastern and mid-Norway respectively, are presented and discussed. Both are clay-lined funnel-shaped pits that are dug into the ground with an upper part where the wood was stacked and lit, and a lower part where the tar was collected in a container. The Norwegian tar production pits are similar to contemporary Swedish ones found in large numbers in mid-Sweden. The type is also known from the eastern part of Central Europe where they came into use a few centuries later than in Scandinavia. 
Pilegrimsspor fra Tynset: En detektorfunnet blymedaljong med kristne motiver
No full textIn 2016, a metal detectorist found a circular lead medallion with iconography on both sides in Tynset in the Østerdalen valley. This article studies the medallion’s shape, function and symbolical content. The object is interpreted as a pendant comparable with pilgrim badges from the late medieval period. The motifs are identified as Christian, representing the apocalyptical Mary with Christ on one side, and a passion and resurrection scene on the other. In this article, the medallion is compared to Norwegian and other European pilgrim badges and amulets with the same motifs, suggesting its origin most likely to be Aachen in Germany. Aachen was one of the most visited holy places for pilgrimage in Europe. The motifs can be connected to the Marian cathedral in Aachen, at the same time as expressing religious content regularly transmitted in the late medieval church. By comparing the motifs with Old Norse texts and images, the article demonstrates how the amulet’s religious messages potentially could influence the bearer – possibly a Norwegian pilgrim.

No full textThe daily management of the abundant availability of information sources and documentation on the Web exposes users to practices that naturalize the fact of copying what another says without referring to who said it. Those who have a Facebook profile know that it is normal to "share" an entire text, almost never explicitly recognizing its origin. Perhaps it is not obvious at first glance, but we can understand these communication routines as naturalized practices of plagiarism and anonymity that, due to their frequency, seem not to be objectionable.El manejo cotidiano de la copiosa disponibilidad de fuentes de información y documentación en la Web expone a los usuarios a prácticas que naturalizan el hecho de copiar lo que otro dice sin hacer referencia a quien lo dijo. Quienes poseen un perfil en Facebook saben que es normal «compartir» un texto entero, sin reconocer explícitamente, casi nunca, su origen. Quizá no es evidente a primera vista, pero estas rutinas de comunicación las podemos entender como prácticas naturalizadas de plagio y anonimato que, por su frecuencia, parecieran no ser censurables
